This event is in the past.

Illmaculate, The Saurus, Goldini Bagwell and Mikey Vegaz

Illmaculate made his name in the game as a freestyle battle rapper, both as a Scribble Jam champion and back-to-back winner of Grindtime's World Rap Championship. He's since built upon that buzz by collaborating with supergroup Sandpeople, countless guest spots on other projects, as well as The Green Tape—a project with producer G_Force, AKA Calvin Valentine, which was released earlier this year. Tonight is the hometown stop on Illmac's West Coast tour, coming off the recent release of his free Skrill Walton EP. While the tracks are ostensibly extra material that didn't make the cut for the much-anticipated Skrill Talk full-length, as a standalone body of work it ranks among the top local releases of the year, which is sure to impress his loyal international fanbase and continue to put Portland on the map.
